- Riverside is being invaded by Aedes Mosquitos. We have had a few of them making their presence known. Our school has been checked by the Northwest Mosquito and Vector Control. We were informed they are not breeding here, so they can’t help us. Common spraying, etc., will not get rid of them, but repellents will work. I have attached information on mosquito bite prevention. We are not allowed to keep repellents at the school, but if your child is being affected it can be applied at home.

- Eden Lutheran Preschool has been informed of a new state regulation that will be enforced during nap-time. Children can only have a secure fitting sheet and 1 small blanket. No stuffed animals or pillows are allowed on the cots. If a child is having a hard time sleeping without their stuffed animal we can put it next to their cot on the floor.
